The Secretary of State, referring to invasion of
Persia at his Press Conference yesterday, is quoted as
saying that he understood that the issue there was between
the G-ermans on the one hand and the British and Russians
on the other. Thus, while denying any United States
interest, he also ignored the position of Persia herself.
2. The Persian Minister saw the Under Secretary of State
yesterday, and afterwards told reporters that he had
informed him that the claim that the presence of fifth
column Germans in Persia was only a pretext. He said he
had received no word from his Government since the
invasion^ and therefore did not wish to make any statement
on the situation there.
